South East is a sans serif type family loosely inspired by the shapes and compositions seen in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. The typeface includes a wide range of stylistic sets, allowing the user to choose between three different center heights and a good number of alternate letter shapes. When used in large sizes South East will show its display qualities while still performing perfectly as a text typeface in smaller sizes, making it a super versatile type family. It’s a type with many faces and many different expressions. Available in 9 weights across 3 widths – 54 styles, including italics.

Playtype is a type foundry situated in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. For more than twenty years we have been creating retail and custom-made typefaces for global businesses. With the talents of type designer and typographer Jonas Hecksher leading the way, we are dedicated to creating fonts that have something to say. Ones that capture voice, personality and imagination, while altering perception of a brand or product. With a distinctive focus on usable typography, our goal is to create type that balances both aesthetical astuteness and function.
